Reference sheet · Histone / Epigenetic · CPC catalog code HIST-017
Reference standards in the Histone / Epigenetic class are typically shipped as lyophilized powder and stored desiccated at −20 °C protected from light. Once reconstituted in bacteriostatic water or the assay-appropriate buffer, aliquot and store at −80 °C to minimize freeze–thaw cycles. Confirm handling requirements against your institutional biosafety and radiation protocols before use.
K(biotin)-W-Histone H2B (108-125); H2B, N-Terminal biotin-labeled sits within the Histone / Epigenetic research class (CPC reference HIST-017). These peptides carry defined post-translational modifications (methylation, acetylation, phosphorylation) at N-terminal histone tail residues, allowing biochemical characterization of writers (HMTs, HATs), erasers (KDMs, HDACs), and readers (bromodomains, chromodomains). Investigators typically incorporate K(biotin)-W-Histone H2B (108-125); H2B, N-Terminal biotin-labeled as a reference standard, tool ligand, or substrate in the assay contexts listed above. SPR / BLI binding, AlphaScreen, TR-FRET, and MS-based activity assays.
K(biotin)-W-Histone H2B (108-125); H2B, N-Terminal biotin-labeled (CPC catalog code HIST-017) is a synthetic histone / epigenetic reader-writer substrate in the histone / epigenetic category. It is provided as a lyophilized ~1 mg vial for in-vitro research use only.
Published and internal research programs use K(biotin)-W-Histone H2B (108-125); H2B, N-Terminal biotin-labeled as a reference standard in histone / epigenetic workflows — for example, hat / hdac / hmt / kdm activity assays and bromodomain and chromodomain binding studies. Human clinical evidence is not established.
No. K(biotin)-W-Histone H2B (108-125); H2B, N-Terminal biotin-labeled is a research-grade reference peptide and is not approved by the FDA or any national regulator for human or veterinary therapeutic use. It is offered exclusively for in-vitro laboratory research and does not ship to the United States for consumer use.
In a histone / epigenetic workflow, K(biotin)-W-Histone H2B (108-125); H2B, N-Terminal biotin-labeled is reconstituted in sterile buffer or DMSO (solubility-dependent) and applied in the researcher's chosen assay format. SPR / BLI binding, AlphaScreen, TR-FRET, and MS-based activity assays.
Other reference standards in the same class — commonly cross-referenced during assay design and comparator selection.
